Featured Blog: Stop Seeking Answers and Focus on this Instead

We know that to do better with money, we need to spend less and save more. We know that to lose weight and get fit, we need to eat healthy and exercise. We know that if we want to get better or develop a skill, we need to practice.

Giving someone the knowledge to complete this task or that project doesn’t solve the problem, because a lack of knowing how is rarely the root of the issue for motivated makers and doers.
